Statement of Diversity
Our lab embraces the values and goals of the clinical program at Florida State University, including the commitment to embrace human diversity and inclusion.
Diversity refers to differences in race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geographic region, religious beliefs, gender identities, sexual orientations, age, and heritage. We view diversity as fundamental to the human experience and strive toward active, intentional, and on-going engagement with diversity via the curriculum, clinical training and practice, and research. We strive to create a diverse and inclusive student body and faculty that empowers traditionally disenfranchised groups. We are actively working to increase our awareness and action plans regarding these issues within the program.
Along these lines, students and faculty should be aware that engagement in activities to enhance diversity and inclusion of traditionally disenfranchised groups within the program are welcomed and appreciated. Further, we will consider all feedback among the department and will act intentionally relative to these comments. We believe that on-going, thoughtful and critical engagement with diversity issues is necessary to improve the program.
This Open Letter was was created by Dr.Keel and colleagues with the goal of ensuring that all members of our FSU community feel supported and respected. This letter sets forth a set of intentions that we share. The link provides the opportunity to support these intentions by signing this letter and sharing it with others.
